Abstract:

The volume of scientific data collected by instruments, experiments, and simulations executed on supercomputers is growing rapidly. Scientists need to move these large data sets from the sources where they are generated to their laboratories. In addition, scientific applications require remote instrument control, remote visualization, and remote computational steering. After providing background on the current state-of-the-art in high-performance networking to support these scientific applications, this talk describes three research projects ongoing at the University of Virginia. All three projects include statistical analysis of traffic measurements collected from applications and/or routers followed with engineering solutions to address specific problems, such as the development of a reliable multicast transport protocol for virtual circuits, and a hybrid network traffic engineering system that isolate high-rate bursty flows from other flows.
